SUMMARY

Under Kash Patel's leadership, the F.B.I. has intensified its use of polygraph tests, questioning employees about their loyalty to him. Personnel have been asked if they have said anything negative about Patel. In some cases, officials were required to take polygraphs to identify who leaked information regarding Patel’s unusual request for a service weapon. This crackdown on dissent is seen as politically charged and inappropriate, with critics arguing it fosters fear and loyalty to individuals rather than the Constitution.

James Davidson stated, “An F.B.I. employee’s loyalty is to the Constitution, not to the director or deputy director.”
